IU "Real" Good Day Makeup Tutorial

10:01 PM

Hi everyone! I have yet another Kpop-inspired tutorial to share with you today. It's one I recorded kind of a while ago and like last time, I had some troubles with the lighting. This always makes me hesitant to post since I want to produce really nice quality for you guys but -sigh- sometimes I feel like I put so much work into it, I might as well post.

In real life, I was super happy with how this look turned out. I don't think I look like IU myself, but the makeup on this look isn't too heavy and it's quite wearable minus the random lash wispies. It's very Springtime chic! The orange cheeks are unusual but so on-point with the orangey trends this season, no?

Here are the photos of IU that inspired this look. She's so ethereal like a wood nymph, I fell in love with the look right away!

And here are photos of my rendition:

And I decided to add one extra nerdy gif just because I had so many people say I look like IU as Pilsook in Dream High when I wear my nerd glasses. HAH!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! I have some more photos that I took with this makeup while wearing my regular clothes (because I liked this look so much) that I'll have to post next time. I just don't pull off the all-red sweater as well as the doll-like IU! My face is much more angular and she has softer features than me in general as well, so for some reason I give off a more "sexy" attitude with this makeup. LOL! You'll just have to wait and see next time...

Wow this is really close to the IU look! You are so amazing! But I wish the lighting was brighter in the video. I think it was one of the best makeup tutorials you've had but the lighting just ruined it. :(

Hey Jen! Great job on the makeup look! Could you do a Pilsook makeup look as well?? She has this very subtle, barely there smokey eyeliner thing but I couldn't figure it out. Anyways, love your blog!! xoxo!

Oh goodness, I love this look! IU is my favorite kpop artist, and I actually wasn't a big fan of her Real album pictures (too much photoshop -_-) but you did a really great interpretation of her make-up! Seems more wearable to me. The orange cheeks are spot-on.

hi jen! ^^ great look as usual,love IU, and love the dramatic lashes :)i love your kpop vids and was wondering if youknew a group called Girls Day?they have a member named Minahwho is single lidded but ALWAYS has awesomemake-up =]

Love the look!it's so pretty, especially the cheeks! <3 I really like the red jumper you're wearing in the picture, where is it from?just a side note, but I never noticed how "thick" IU's eyebrows were until i looked at these pictures. . damn korean people and their good looking natural eyebrows haha

Seriously...can't you get any prettier? I found you on youtube last week and have been following ever since. GREAT stuff!!! This is a great look. Not too heavy but really emphasizing the eyes which I love.xoxo-linhhttp://la-lalinh.blogspot.com

I want to see more orange cheeks on you! It looks so good! Also, it would be really awesome if you did a hair tutorial of IU's look! I've been trying to get that tousled wave down for spring but my stick straight asian hair just won't play nicely.

Yes, you totally look like pilsook, with a hot pick guitar, haha^0^ You kind of look like a lot of korean pop stars though. When you did the clap your hands tutorial, I though you look extremely like dara park^0^~

Oh Jen, this post is a dream come true for me! Since IU released her album, I've been in love with the look of her make-up and wanted to know how to do it. Is it a coincidence that lately, I've also been getting into the color peach?? :) Thank you so much Jen!

Wow, you do look like this Kpop starlett IU! Btw, I just started following you a couple months back. Keep up the great tutorials! Oh, and I started wearing Rock n Republic products b/c of you since I'm an Hautelook addict! Haha thanks!

Hi Jen, love your blog. Went to the drugstore the other day to look for Airy Fairy but they said it is discontinued. What other Rimmel lipstick is close to Airy Fairy, more particularly in the Moisture Renew lipstick line?

Hi Jen, G Gotta say your videos are awesome! Being a fan of makeup myself, I can say you have some serious skills!!! I was actually wondering what camera you use? Because your pictures come out soo vibrant! Anyways keep up the good work!<3 miRi
